Enzymes are classified according to the reaction they catalyse. There are following types of enzymes:

  1. Oxidoreductases or Dehydrogenases: catalyze the transfer of hydrogen and electrons from one redox system to another.
  2. Transferases: catalyze the transfer of groups from one molecule to another.
  3. Hydrolases: these cause cleavage of bonds using water.
  4. Lyases: also known as synthases; catalyze reactions involving either the cleavage or formation of chemical bonds; cleavage of bond does not require water.
  5. Isomerases: move groups within a molecule, without changing the gross composition of the substrate.
  6. Ligases: these are energy-dependent and are therefore always coupled to the hydrolysis of nucleoside triphosphates   

 

Isomerases catalyse moving groups within a molecule, without changing the gross composition of the substrate. This changes the shape of the molecule.
